... Set this player at minus one for shooting instead of minus two? Plan on using him as a swing power forward/small forward depending on matchups this year. Division three. Been forever since I've had a post style player with a seventy plus per.

I don't worry about the position a guy plays when it comes to three point settings. All I do is look at his ratings - perimeter in particular - and decide if I want him to shoot more from inside the three point line or outside of it.

In general, the higher the guy's perimeter the more I put him outside the three point line. However, you have to consider how many other three point threats you have (if you have a lot, you don't need him out there, if you don't, you might want him there) and with your guy he's so good inside you may not want to push him out there very much.

I'd probably have this guy set at -1 so he's mostly inside but if he gets the open look he'll take it and adjust accordingly if that doesn't give me the results I want.

fwiw, I usually pay less attention to position played and more attention to the Ath, Spd, Per combo combined with whatever history he has of being a 3 point shooter. I usually will start any likely candidate at 0 or -1 at the start of each season and adjust during the season from that point.

with his low spd/bh (for a per shooter), im probably in the -1 camp. however, especially at the 4, players can make 3s pretty well without great ratings in spd and bh. i could easily see a 0 or a -1, really. if your team is chock-full of per shooting, -1 is probably the way to go, but if you were lacking on 3s, id definitely try him at 0 and see if he can hold up.

Scoring is some sort of "opposed roll". It's your offensive equation vs your opponents def equation. I think that 48 speed is going to give you a serious advantage in a man situation. If he's covered by a decent (typical) PF, you're going to see someone with a sub 30 speed. As long as he isn't like a 70 DEF/ATH I think you'll have a pretty big advantage.

Yeah. Which is why I was thinking of playing a matchup game with him.he averaged nearly 18 last season with a .532 shooting percentage despite usually being double teamed, so it seems like his ath/speed was enough, just didn't have him try any threes lt year.
